T:'a' our readers may know that there
IS some truth in the assertion that Aus
TN will see great change, during the
! next Year, we shall describe some Of the
improvements which will be made this
spring.
The r. N. Bank will put in stone
| foundation, and extend their building, on
Bridge street, to the store now occupied
by JAS. Cronan. They will build new
front. with plate glass and cornices.
They will also put in all additional vault.
making it one Of the finest banks in the
state. The stores adjoining the bank,
occupied by Dalager s. Bowen and Jas.
Crouun, will be built into one large
| store. by VIM. Richards, who has
rcscntlv bought the Galloway property.
The building on Main street will be ex-
tended % feet. so as to conncc: with the
! building on Bridge street, A new front
Will be built, corresponding to that of
the bank which will make q fine block.
1t is the intention of Mr. Richards to
make this one of the bost arranged stores
in southern Minnesota. He will put
in all the modern improve
ments; elevators. cash bill system etc.
The store will have to entrances, one on
Main. the other on Bridge street. The
next three stores, occupied by Wright
s. Decker, F.. Jacobs and the One Price
Clothing Store. will all be ex-
tended rs feet, and otherwise improved,
practically making five new buildings
on this corner. G. Schlcuder will put
up two new buildings, one where the
one story brick building occupied by
Gregson's feed store, stands, and the
other on the next lot south Both Of
these will be fine substantial buildings,
such as he has put up before Mr.
Roberts, who owns the lot, between
Mr.. Schleuder's and the P. O., will
put up building, to correspond
with those built 10y Mr. Schleuder. In
all probability this will lie solid block
OF fine buildings. by next fall G. L.!
West has bought the corner lot, on Main
street. opposite Mills s. johnson, with
the intention Of building; he is making
arrangements with another party who
will build on the adjoining lot When
these buildings are put up. the remain
ing vacant lots will soon be built on.
Mr. Galloway intends to put some build
lays on his lots on Bridge street. This
is very desirable location. and build
ings 50 we'll located could be easily
rented. We understand that Mr.. Gal
loway is willing to put up two story
brick building on the corner lot. if some
society would build the second story.
1t would pay some society to accept this
offer. if he has made such an offer.
These are some Of the improvements
which will certainly be made, just so
soon as it is possible to begin work.
There will also he many fine houses
built. c. II. Coats has already Dough,
the stone for the foundations of Two
large houses, which he will build at once.
There has recently been demand fol
such houses, and most Of the best build.
| ing sites will be taken this summer
The Building Association will be read.
to begin work just 80 soon as sprln.
opens. From the number of applica
tions already received, it IS certain tina
they will build, at least, 100 houses
perhaps more.
